I understand his need for financial stability. It just doesn’t mean I gots to likes it.
I agree that this movie looks to be god-awful, but it has a long way to go to reach the level of awfulness that is Duece Bigalow: European Gigolo.
Yes, agreed. One of the criteria for a movie on MST3K was that it must have been made seriously.
That said, the commercials I’ve seen for Little Man are horrible! Is that the best it’s got?
Yeah but, being a cartoon, the ganster baby didn’t give me nightmares.
And while they had the slapstick, they didn’t have the creepy and sadly obvious sex joke (including what I take to be the enevitable) recal thermometer joke.
I can’t think Warner Bro. would want to be reminded they every did anything remotely similar. Even if that’s where they got it from.
I rarely hope to see others fail - I am hoping that this fails in such a big way that no one ever lets them do a movie again.
whb is right, the theater could very well be packed from 12:00pm to 6:00pm with giggling kids who have been dropped off by their parents. My “Math Student of The Year” daughter and her Honor Society friends thought that White Chicks was one of the funniest movies of the year. I watched five minutes of it and became so angry at its stupidity that I had to go outside and lay in the hammock for a while. Afterwards, my daughter and her friends defended the movie, saying that it was funny and that “The Big Lebowski” and “Office Space” were stupid (my child can be very cruel). I am sure that they will see this baby movie on opening day.
He was also in Dungeons & Dragons. It’s gotta say something when D&D is pretty far from being the nadir of your portfolio.
This is why I’m never having kids.
But Wayans was absolutely horrendous in The Ladykillers- why did the Geniuses Coen feel that one of their epics would need a foul-mouthed gangsterish black guy for laughs, or that that this type character was ever funny? But they get a pass, just for creating Norville Barnes.
The content of the film itself aside – I can’t get over how awful the special effects look in the previews. The quality is even lower than what I would expect to see in a made-for-TV movie.
Actually they show one scene that is a direct homage/rip off shot of him shaving with the cigar (like when Bugs finally figured out what he was dealing with . I’m thinking that they knew what they were doing and hoped a quick shot like that would be protection enough. “Hey it was a parody”
Still the recreation of that shot was clever… the rest will likely be festering manuer which will make good money on opening week with the oversaturation of commercials (A good sign the execs know they have a ten tonne turkey on their hands)
I had to sit through this piece of crap over the weekend. This thing makes White Chicks look like Citizen Kane. It sucks on so many levels I hardly know where to start. The premise is inane, of course. No one could possibly actually think that a grown dwarf is a baby but the film goes from merely unfunny to being aggressively offensive when it repeatedly tries to get laughs from sexual assault and even rape. Is it supposed to be funny for a dwarf who is posing as a baby to force a woman’s head down to his crotch to make her give him fellatio? Is it funny for him to have intercourse with her in the dark when she thinks he’s her husband (and how could anyone possibly not know the difference between sex with her husband and sex with a stranger, let alone a dwarf)?
There is the usual catalogue of guys getting hit in the nuts, flatulence jokes and other bodi;y fluid jokes, but those are actually the LEAST objectionable things about the movie. Even the desultary “moral” is offensive – i.e. that women should stay home and raise children instead of having careers.
If you ever have a choice between watching Little Man and taking a bullet in the foot, you should definitely choose the bullet.
How does one wind up “having” to sit through a flick like that? Is this some sort of “in lieu of jail time” agreement?
That is why Jamie Foxx will never be an Oscar-caliber actor to me. Whenever I see him, I always see that ugly chick with the huge butt saying “I got you”. shudder There’s just no way that guy could win an Oscar. Someone read the card wrong.
it’s part of my job. I do in-home services for disabled people. That includes taking them to movies sometimes. It’s not really so bad to get paid to go to movies, but they choose the movies and they don’t always have great taste. One client in particular has a great fondness for every dumbass, low-brow comedy that comes down the pike.
I feel for you, Dio. Of course, I also feel for me, since your post leaves me wondering if I will end up seeing this movie at B-Fest in the next few years.
Boy, if there was ever a good reason to quit…
Calling this even the worst movie of the year would mean it would have to be worse than Ultraviolet, which I don’t think is physically possible.
Worst movie of all time would require it to be worse than Ultraviolet and Robot Monster.
Even though I’d rather have a borax enema than watch this film, I wouldn’t go that far.
I guess that explains why you’re so cynical. 
I don’t know, even though I would say it was not a good movie, “White Chicks” had several moments that made me laugh. It was a dumb comedy, but it did have it’s funny moments, and I have a feeling “Little Man” will too. Compare this to “Baby Geniuses”, which is supposed to be funny but doesn’t have a funny moment in the entire film, and is downright painful to watch.
